I have a .243 built on a m98 action, it's a great shooting rifle currently in a black synthetic stock. I don't hunt with it and rarely shoot it. Now the problem, my daughter in law and grandson have taken a interest in hunting and lack a suitable rifle. My .243 would make a low recoil rifle for either of them to use except the stock is too long. I really don't want to hack up my nice synthetic stock so I am looking for a beater wood stock to drop it into. I have done a lot of stock work and can take care of any minor fitting and repair issues and will likely glass bed it anyway. Just looking for one that I don't have to feel bad about lopping a little off the pull. An old sporterised military would be fine. I have stuff to trade, wood, reloading brass, or cash. No rush since it's pretty much too late for this year and I think my grandson needs at least another year before he is ready.
